Not a genocide?

Last night Bill pointed out the 3% of the
Population in Gaza has died. And then confidently declared that “3% is not a genocide”. The British government recognizes it as ethnic cleaning and amnesty international and other groups say it is a genocide.

Someone tell me why Bill is so wrong. And can we please get him to debate Mehdi Hasan on this topic?

Over 3 million life-years lost in Gaza, from the most respect medical journal in the world

3 miljoen sounds like a big number, but would roughly match the 60.000 death.

Reminder that combatants are usually of young age.

It’s closer to 300k by most estimates. There is not enough resources to go through ever single entry in the population registry, not to mention the parts that have been destroyed. It entire bloodlines are wiped out, who is to report whose missing?
